Tiered first birthday cake

One of my neighbours, a girl I’ve known my whole life, came to me and asked me to make her daughter’s first birthday cake.

It was the first ‘proper’ tiered cake I’ve made, as previous multi tier cakes were so small they didn’t need supporting with dowels and such) and the whole experience was so tense and terrifying. It looked fantastic, though, which was the result I definitely needed confidence-wise for the wedding cakes I’ll be making this summer.
